Sunday April 5 at 2pm at Sandoval County Historical Society
Don Bullis to talk about New Mexico's Politicians in History
Author and historian Don Bullis will make a presentation at the Sandoval County Historical Society on Sunday April 5 at 2pm on New Mexico and Politicians of the Past.
The presentation is Free and Open to the Public. All are welcome.
Bullis is the author of the new book "New Mexico & Politicians of the Past" which was published by Rio Grande Books in collaboration with Albuquerque Westerners with funding support from the New Mexico State Department of Cultural Affairs as part of the celebration of the State's Centennial.
The meeting will be at the DeLavy House in Bernalillo, New Mexico (between Santa Ana Star Casino and Coronado State Monument on the northside of US 550).
New Mexico Politicians of the Past Reviewed by Reading New Mexico
"Author Don Bullis is well known for the depth of his knowledge and research regarding New Mexico history, law enforcement, and politics. In New Mexico & Politicians of the Past, he gathers together some of the state’s lesser known politicos and provides a short vignette of each man’s life (there are no women included in this collection, which is more likely due to the fact that women were not allowed to be part of politics in the past and not a case of the author’s chauvinism). The period represented is from the 1500s to the early 20th century.
Bullis made some rather interesting choices as to who was included in the book. Several of the snippets, such as those which relate farcical political fiascos and shady associations, are quite entertaining. Many give the reader a glimpse into a past era where garnering political position based purely on return favors and personal relationships was the norm.
For those who are truly addicted to New Mexico’s political history, this book will certainly be entertaining. It cannot be argued that Bullis knows his history and has done extensive research. I, for one, however, would have liked the selection of biographies to be just a bit more stimulating and exciting."

Fred's Used Web Sites
Fred's Used Websites is about to embark upon the next step of our entrepreneurial venture with hopes of increasing our clientèle with higher visibility.
After a ton of hard work building infrastructure and perfecting our offerings, we have decided to join the Loveland Chamber of Commerce.
This big event takes place Thursday, March 12 at 4:30 pm at the Chamber, 5400 Stone Creek Circle in Loveland.
Festivities will include a Ribbon Cutting ceremony and refreshments. Attendees will receive a special value coupon for six months free web hosting with us.
We'd love to have you come join the celebration and watch Fred wield giant-sized scissors!
You authors (or anybody else) who may need or want a new web site, here's an opportunity.
For those who don't know exactly all of what we do, here's a brief overview:
Fred's Used Websites produces high functionality websites for businesses, professionals, and organizations who want easy management and editing capabilities for their websites. Each website features a built-in uniquely simple yet powerful editor that requires no special software or knowledge of HTML. Website clients have complete autonomy to add/delete pages, and edit text or photos at will. For the more creative, jazzy fonts and drop caps are available via a server-generated enhanced text capability. It is possible to create special insets to make important information stand out. Every site uses Google Analytics to track website traffic, which provides valuable marketing information about how visitors find the site, which pages they visit, and if those visits translate to sales.
Do you know anyone who has said things like:
"I need a website."
"I have a website, but I don't like it."
"I've been trying to figure out how to build a website myself, but ..."
"I've looked on GoDaddy and Joomla ... but still haven't done it."
If you do, please send this e-mail to them.
NOW is the perfect time for us to show them what we can do for them.
If they have an existing site, we'd transition it over to our hosting and they'd have the same self-editing capabilities your site has.
Hope to see you there,
Fred & Maryjo

EXPLORE THE NEW FRONTIER OF DIGITAL STORYTELLING;
BOOK SIGNING AND PRESENTATION WITH
AUTHOR CAROLYN HANDLER MILLER
DURANGO (March 11, 2009)— Author, teacher and consultant Carolyn Handler Miller will discuss her pioneering work in the field of new media at a book signing and presentation on Monday, April 13th from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Maria’s Bookshop, 960 Main Avenue in Durango.
Blogs, virtual reality, video games, instant messaging, websites—rapid shifts in technology are transforming how we read and write. Just like the frontier of the Old West, the exciting new world of interactive digital media is offering unprecedented opportunities to the adventurous among us. Writers, business people, educators, filmmakers and scientists—people working in a diverse array of fields and for all types of organizations—are finding inventive ways to harness digital media. This new arena gives us the ability to tell new kinds of stories, promote projects and products, and make complex information understandable. Miller’s book Digital Storytelling: A Creator’s Guide to Interactive Entertainment offers tremendous insight into this exploding arena. Whether you are a working professional, a student, or just a curious reader, this book stimulates creative ideas and provides a wealth of insight into the world of digital media. It covers effective techniques for creating compelling narratives for a wide variety of digital media including the Internet, video games, interactive television, virtual reality and interactive cinema.
As Miller writes in Digital Storytelling, “one of the things that distinguishes digital storytelling from classical storytelling is that members of the audience can become active players in the narrative and can even have a direct impact on it.” As the formats we use for creating and sharing information and stories change, so to must the ways writers write and readers read.
Carolyn Handler Miller is one of the pioneering writers in the field of interactive
media, where she has contributed to over four-dozen projects as a writer, story designer and consultant. As an award-winning Hollywood screenwriter, she brings a unique perspective to the craft of digital storytelling. Her digital storytelling work includes not only video games, but projects for the Web, interactive TV, smart toys and transmedia entertainment, as well as innovative educational, informational and promotional endeavors.

Musing With Ruthe Francis
Our friend and colleague Ruthe Francis will share some of her thoughts in a regular column here in NM Book Co-op News. Here are some new thoughts and observations about books:
Larry McMurtry recently published a memoir on books entitled Books. (I just had to write that sentence.) For those of us who are interested in where used books end up, this is a tale of McMurtry's joyous journey in the art of scouting, buying, and selling books for the past half-century. He now has over 300,000 volumes in his business in Archer City, Texas. He also documents the changes that publishing has gone through, especially the rapidity of change during these past few years.
Book TV covers non-fiction authors on the week-ends on cspan. If you have acesss to this channel I highly recommend it for recently publlished books, author information, book panels, and articles about the book business. This past week-end they high-lighted Wonder Book used books in Maryland. The warehouse has over one million books that are sold through their website (wonderbook.com), Amazon and e-bay. They even sell used books by color: a shelf of yellow books anyone? Booktv.org lists each week-end's lineup.

More Borders Cuts: 742 Store Managers and Supervisors Nationwide
Borders is cutting "less than 3 percent" of their in-store workforce across the country, eliminating 679 jobs at their superstores, mostly by "reducing the number of manager and supervisor positions." They note that "no changes were made at the general manager level--the top position in each store--but in the majority of Borders locations, one or two other leadership positions, such as sales managers, inventory managers, training supervisors and merchandise supervisors, were eliminated as the company resets its superstore management structure to correspond to sales volume on a store-by-store basis." Similar changes to manager and supervision positions at Waldenbooks are eliminating another 63 positions. CEO Ron Marshall calls it "a necessary step as we streamline and focus our payroll investment on the sales floor" and "making sure that payroll investments align with the reality of sales."

Kersten Hamilton (Red Truck-Children's Picturebook) & Marcy Heller (Loco Dog and the Dust Bowl-Young Reader)
Red Truck
By Kersten Hamilton
The award winning RED TRUCK is the ‘youngest’ picture book Kersten Hamilton has written. It is tailor-made for little boys who love trucks and adventure. With such a short text—just 106 words—every little thing had to be perfect. Not just words, but even the sound of individual letters and letter combinations. Hamilton says the whole book was ‘sparked’ by the sound of the title words: RED TRUCK. She loved the repetition of the R’s; the almost hard D and the hard CK sounds. She liked the way it felt to say them, the way they settled in her ears. She added a vroom! and a sploosh! or two, and the fun sounds grew into a book!
Loco Dog and the Dust Devil in the Railyard
by Marcy Heller and illustrated by Nancy Poes
Once upon a time, in a small, dusty Southwestern town, in the middle of the busy railyard, there lived a large, black dog. His name was Loco, short for Locomotive.
The railyard was always gritty, and sometimes dust devils swirled through. One wild and windy spring evening, a huge, powerful dust devil forever changed the lives of everyone who loved the railyard and its big, black dog.
